Thanks very much. I ended up purchasing before I saw your screenshots. I’m trying to make some modifications to minimize the space that the big date circle occupies. Can you show a simple way to remove it (and replace it with a more conventional date/meta under the post title in the main blog feed)? Similar to what the single post w/ sidebar looks like.

If you want to remove the date circle, but keep the date, you need to move the post-meta section of the index.php file to some place under the post-content section. After that you would adjust the grid classes in these elements, and some of their CSS under the blog section of the main stylesheet (style.css). This is most definitely a task for someone who is proficient in CSS and HTML .

Hi I got this error in the head of my page after installing your theme:
Warning: file_put_contents(/www/htdocs/xxxxxxx/wp-content/themes/yin_and_yang1/styles/custom.php) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /www/htdocs/xxxxxxx/wp-content/themes/yin_and_yang1/function-includes/dynamic-js-and-css-files.php on line 42

oh cool! one other question: I don’t use the Portfolio on the Homepage, but on a Ppage called portfolio. And as I am using some custom ajax to reload the page and the menu also when clicking a link the “Home” menu get’s highlighted after loading a portfoilo item. cause it appends something like this to the root domain ”?portfolio=testitem”. So in the browser bar this appears “www.domain.com/?portfolio=testitem”. I want that theres the page name in front so like this “www.domain.com/portfolio?portfolio=testitem” is there a place where I can say to put it in front? Hope you get me… :-/

I have to correct myself: I have created a page “portfolio” and choose the template “Home” for this, so the portfolio itemas are shown on that page. When I click on a portfolio item it directs me to this page: www.domain.com/portfolio/itemname. The problem is, that allthough I am on the page “portfolio” the “Home” page is highlighted in the menu. Have You any idea how to fix this?

Yes I am using a script to ajaxify the page loading. So yes, it’s like opening the in a different page or reloading the container. So it’s like sending someone the link to a specific portfolio item. why is the home menu item highlighted and not the current page menu item?

If the portfolio items are opening in another page, then your site is not in fact not using AJAX to load the content of the items. The home link wouldn’t be highlighted in the first place, if the AJAX effect was in place. Can you please send me a link to your site, so I can check things out by myself?

By the way, I’m leaving the town today, so expect to see my answer either tomorrow, or on Sunday.

ok thanks, I fixed the problem on my own. one last question, ist it possible to change the thumbnail dimensions of the porftolio page. I want them to be wider. I have a liitle experience in coding, but i have to now wich files to edit. thanks in advance!

thanks, i get it working. for anybody who’s interested. you have to change the number of items in jquery.quicksand.init.js as well to have the sorting function working.

one last thing. I knwo, that your file is not compatible in the internet explorer 7 and down. i viewed your theme in this browser and it’s completely thrown togehter. is there a way to avoid the user from using this browser? are there many users using this browser?

this was just a small issue caused by an ampersand in the title of the theme, making it impossible to edit the code through WordPress’ text editor. I provided a fix for this a few hours ago, along with some other minor things, and extended the portfolio items to hold up to ten images each, instead of just five.

Please head to the “Downloads” page and get your fresh copy of the updated theme!

you are not supposed to upload the whole folder, which you downloaded, when you bought the theme. Please unzip it first and read the documentation found within, that will guide your through the installation and the complete setup of the theme.

just purchased your theme, congrats for the nice job by the way.
I would like to get almost the same contact panel than the one on your live demo but cant manage to get it. I published the contact button and panel slide properly, i put the short code [one_half] but i cant make it work and looks like yours. Is it possible to get the html code for this? or is it possible to import somewhere some files to get exactly your live demo website and tweak from there? Cheers.

Here’s the content of the demo’s contact page, that goes in the HTML view of the content editor, if you want to have the same formatted page as the one in the demo. You just need to change a few things, such as the email address and some other data.

This theme crashed my blog, could’nt log in after i logged out and i cound’nt change anything in the css or php files (I had to juse FTP and edit this things via filezilla) ? Can’t figure out what’s wrong, I installed it like every theme I try. Now I had to get help fron my host to set the theme back to default, and delete this one…

Looking at your previous comment, I see that the theme was working before. Are you sure you haven’t installed a corrupt plugin, or something like that? Anyway, please grab the updated theme folder from your Downloads page, and follow the directions in the docs to properly install and setup the theme.

I figured it out, since I befor had a much larger blog – my some of my pictures was 700px. I made a code that auto resized all the bigger pictures to 500px width. An offcourse all pictures got smaller! Now, I’m about to edit the pictures manually.

sorry to hear you were shocked about not finding the whole mockup of the theme in the PSDs.

The main reason why the mockup isn’t included is that the theme is so minimalistic, that only its icons, and the background patterns were needed to be made in photoshop, as everything else related to design is so plain simple, that making a whole mockup would be a waste of time and resources.

The other reason is that I don’t do my website design mockups anymore in photoshop, even though I consider myself proficient in that piece of software. With the advancements of web technologies such as CSS3 and HTML5 , I’m able to do my mockups straight in the browser, skipping photoshop, and thus saving large amounts of time and resources in developing a website. So you see, CSS3 and HTML5 enable me to do everything what photoshop can, when it comes to these sites that don’t require heavy, or should I say complex graphics. Those are the reasons I made and included only the layered PSD files for the icons.

I hope you understand.

Once again, I’m honestly sorry you feel let down. Please don’t hesitate to let me know if I can assist you with anything else.

I love your theme! It’s just about perfect. The one thing I would like to know if it can be changed is the transition when clicking between portfolio items… the menu slides up and down. Is there any way to not have this transition between every portfolio item? It’s making me a bit dizzy.

By the way, please respond to your own threads. It makes it easier for me, and for other people, to keep track of the comments. You can do that by hitting the reply button, found at the end of the first comment in the thread.

As far as the images are concerned, they aren’t resized at all. The timthumb script is not going to resize the images smaller than 700 pixels in width, as that would ruin their quality; i.e. make them blurry. You need to upload images of exactly 700 pixels in width, or more, if you want them resized to the proper size, but never less than 700.

you need to find a way to remove the “active” class from the li element, in the template-home.php file, and assign it to another li element, that represent a specific portfolio category. This is most definitely a task for a developer, especially because the categories are dynamically outputted.

Quite honestly, I’m unsure if additional HTML is permitted in the shortcode attributes. Please try editing the contact-info-shortcode file, found in the /yin_and_yang/function-includes/theme-shortcodes/ directory, to see what you can come up with.

please read the theme’s documentation, found in the main folder, that will guide you through the installation and the setup of the theme. Especially make sure you read the part on how to setup the homepage and the menu, as that will give the answers to your questions.
